bah! bad oil change

[JackFish]

So I took the car to Canadian Tire for an oil change.
I figure $30 and I don't get dirty.
After a drive the wife says you got a drip! I look under the hood and there's oil blown out of the back of the valve cover everywhere.
hmmm, I check the oil when it's cold and it's at the top of the fill line!
So where'd all this oil come from, you may ask?
I check the bill, and I've been charged for 1 jug@4.5l and 1 extra litre!! :x They 5.5l of oil in it!
Now I have to go deal with this cow manure.
My whole valve train is really clattering when cold now, whereas before I had only 1 "ticky" lifter. Is it possible the rocker arm could loosen up with alll that extra oil up there temporarily?
I'm going for new plugs and pcv+hoses and valve cover gasket. Anything else I should be checking on to get them to fix?

I once inadvertently overfilled our old Escort. I noticed smoke out the tailpipe and thought I had a real problem, but it turns out the excess oil was getting sucked into the PCV.

Might be your problem too. Oil tends to exacerbate ignition clatter.

Yes, I expect there's oil up the PCV. I want them to replace the valve and hoses.

And clean the engine compartment.

And apologize.

Then refund your money.

And apologize again.
